Dietary and Husbandry Advice for Exotic Pets

Unfortunately, despite the owner's best intentions, in our experience, as many as 95% of cases of disease in exotic pets are caused by incorrect husbandry.

This is why we are pleased to offer extended husbandry consultations with our exotic's nurses.

Please call us on 01634 242502 to book your pet an appointment with an exotic vet in Snodland, Kent.
